Couple so drunk they let 9yo daughter drive home

When police pulled the couple’s car over, they found the nine-year-old girl behind the wheel.

A couple have faced court after they got their nine-year-old daughter to drive them home after a big night out.

Jason Roth and Amanda Eggert were drunk in the back seat of their truck when it was pulled over by police in Wisconsin, US, because it was coming close to colliding with oncoming traffic. Their daughter, nine, was driving and an 11-month-old was also in the car.

Roth and Eggert – who were three times over the legal blood alcohol limit – were charged with child neglect and recklessly endangering safety.
